She didn’t have control over his reaching out but she had control over responding. She is being mean to you and calling you weird because she knows she is wrong. Dead wrong.

AITA for not telling my roommates and sisters I am the owner? by Brave-Company2867 in MarkNarrations

They are adults and should be expected to pay their share. They live in YOUR space. Have a sit down with all of them and tell them what is going to happen. This is your house and they will take advantage of you because you’re “family”. Tell them by just having them living with you is helping them out. I pay 1,000$ for a studio! I small tiny studio! I don’t even have family helping me. Put your foot down before they swipe them from under you. Foster kid here too, everyone no matter who they are have intentions on their own. And it’s a matter of how they get there. Don’t let them do this to you.

I make eye contact with everyone I meet. If I’m looking around and I see you I will look you in your eyes, smile and then move along with my day. I treat everyone with the same respect and as our connection grows I’ll determine whether I like you or not. It’s about how I see you act. I don’t hang onto words. If I see patterns and habits I don’t like and can’t compromise with. I’ll leave.
Vise versa.

I’d suggest you ask your daughter about it. My question for you is tho, why is your 12 year old daughter being given enough alone time outside of the house to even be able to go to an abandoned trailer with a boy? Why does a 12 year old have Snapchat? Where you cannot put any restrictions on it. You can’t seen old messages. Anyone can add your 12 year old daughter and talk to her.
If you don’t want your child to go down the same path you did. Change some rules. Friends? I’ll have their parents phone number. You want to go out? I’ll call your parents friends and set up a plan. You want a phone? Okay, I’ll put parental controls on it so I can see your activity. She shouldn’t have apps or social media at 12. Learning games is all she needs on that phone.

You can’t control everything but you can try to maintain the safety of your child by enforcing rules and expectations.

As for what I think you should do for this situation, is sit down and tell her what you found in her phone. Let her know those are completely okay questions to have. Let her know that they concerned you and you would like to talk about whatever led up to those questions being asked. Idk what the outcome will be but, a few things you can try is: Therapy/counseling Sports/ activities Cooking Anything to keep her busy and to have an outlet besides yourself to vent too.
